Coffee oils · cleaning disc · tablet
The Luxe Café CLEAN programme backflushes the group head. This is the job Ventori Backflush is intended for.

Ninja coffee machine care
Ninja Luxe Café maintenance, organised around the machine prompts.
The important distinction is simple: CLEAN removes coffee oils from the group head using the cleaning disc and tablet; DESCALE removes mineral build-up from the water system.
Limescale · water circuit · descaler
The DESCALE programme treats mineral build-up and uses coffee-machine descaler, not a cleaning tablet.

Three full Ninja Luxe Café guides are now connected.
Each one routes into the exact care task, Care Schedule and relevant Ventori product rather than treating every Ninja machine as the same.

The jobs that matter most on Luxe Café.
Ninja’s current Luxe Café platform combines espresso, filter coffee, built-in grinding and milk frothing, but the maintenance jobs still need to stay separate.
Coffee-oil care
CLEAN cycle / backflushing
Ninja uses a cleaning disc and espresso cleaning tablet to backflush the shower screen and group head on the Luxe Café family.
Understand this task →Mineral scale care
Descaling
The DESCALE programme is a separate, much longer job that treats mineral build-up in the water and steam paths.
Understand this task →Incoming water care
Water filtration
Keep the fitted filter on schedule and remove it before descaling where the exact Ninja instructions require it.
Understand this task →Milk care
Froth-system cleaning
Wipe the steam wand promptly, let the purge routine finish and clean the removable jug and whisk components.
Understand this task →Relevant Ventori care
Ninja is now a direct use case for both live tablet SKUs.
Backflush tablets are for the CLEAN coffee-oil cycle. Descaler tablets are for the separate mineral-scale programme.
Next Ninja tranche
Other current Ninja coffee platforms are already on the roadmap.
These stay separate until their exact maintenance manuals are mapped, rather than copying Luxe Café procedures onto a different platform.
